Those model cars in scales from 1/66 to 1/90 were actually made by a Spanish company called Alsetoy. The same models can be found with the Alsetoy name cast on their bases, and also with other brand names such as Avia, Esso and Vylar. However, those with Cadum Pax cast on their bases are by far the most common, which is why the models are generally identified by this name.
